Jared Allen’s Sports Bar and Grill Closes

ClosedJared Allen obviously wasn’t going to keep a restaurant with his name open in Kansas City, but after only two weeks his co-owner has decided to close the place.

Jared Allen’s Sports Arena & Grill closed Wednesday, less than two weeks after working partner Chuck Tabor said he would stick with it and try to make it work.

Tabor and Allen could not be reached for comment Thursday. However, workers were tying up loose ends at the operation.

“Business was down, and the name wasn’t helping us any,” said Jose Alvarez, an employee who was in charge on Thursday. “The bills were behind and stacking up, so they decided to close it.”

All of this made me think of one great band that made one great song….

Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world Minnesota cold.
Closing time - turn the lights up out over every boy and every girl Chiefs fan.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer Odoul’s.
Closing time - you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay HERE!

Yes, I know I went there with Semisonic. The one-hit wonder with the tune bad D.J.s typically end the night with. Corny? Yes, but the one thing I want to make clear was that if you leave K.C., you leave the fans, too. Good luck with a new restaurant…

    There was plenty of warning that I would never go to Jared’s bar if he left for Minnesota. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens you when lose my support. :)

  2. 2. Double D Says:

    . . . especially if your business happens to be a bar

  3. 3. Zach Says:

    I think it was more than just a bar, it was an arena, restaurant, grill, dance club, club, gameroom, saloon, etc…..

  4. 4. seanbcool Says:

    Kind of a shame really. I never got a chance to go. I don’t live in KC anymore or I would have made it a point to at least check it out as soon as news broke that he’d been traded.

  5. 5. Eli (Jefferson City) Says:

    Feel kind of bad for the employees…

  6. 6. Double D Says:

    Yeah it sucks for the employees for sure. They’re the ones who usually get hurt the most.

  7. 7. Jeremy (Riverside, CA) Says:

    As a business owner I always hate to see businesses close. They should have sat down and had a real heart to heart with Jared about the likelihood of him staying in KC. Sounds like they did not.

    They should have partnered with the follwong guys and had these slogans:

    D-Bowe: “Try D-Bowes T-Bone!”

    Brodie Croyle: “Try the Croyled Shrimp or Lobster”

    Tony Gonzalez “Try the Gonzo Beans”

    Herm Edwards “Try the Herb Edwards Chicken”

    Devard Darling “Try the Jamaican Jerk”

    Tyron Brakenridge “Try the Tryon Brackenribs”

    You guys got any?

  8. 8. Zach Says:

    good stuff…. I think I like the Ribs the best.

    The Sippio Cup… that’s just brilliant. Flat out brilliant. Somebody give that man an award.

  18. 18. xxxlp Says:

    Brodie’s Croylefish Gumbo,
    Surtain’s Sirloins,
    Brian’s Watering Hole,
    B.J. Sam’s Club,
    Kolby’s Kold Kuts,
    Pollard’s Collard Greens,
    Niswanger’s Weiners,
    Quick-Draw McGraw’s, fastest service in town!,
    Hali’s Tamales,
    Barksdale’s Hotdogs.

    That’s all me and my pops could come up with… so far! And props to you Zach, the Sippio cup, classic! You could put little Chiefs logo’s on the cups and have the top part look sort of like a helmet, and call it the Sippio cup. Cha-ching. I’d have your people call Bobby’s people asap.

  19. 19. Zach Says:

    Thanks guys for all the compliments. It was the easiest one for me to come up with and you better bet your asses that an image is coming soon… LOL

    Zach

  20. 20. Jeremy (Riverside, CA) Says:

    LOL!

    I love Hali’s Tamales!

  21. 21. MasterBlaster Says:

    Ok…you guys need to find better ways to fill the hours before next seasons kick-off haha. All they needed to do was change the name to Dorsey’s…problem solved.

  22. 22. Zach Says:

    I could see Dorsey’s being a nice steakhouse.

  23. 23. Troy Says:

    Great names for food. I wonder how long it will be before he opens one in Minnesota?

  24. 24. Scott Says:

    I think my eyes rolled out of my head. (j/k) Some of those were great!

    I can see it now -

    “Croyle’s 39 yard touchdown pass left the Raiders secondary sucking on a Sippio cup”.

    Put a little Sippio cup in the header a the top of the page! Maybe between LJ and Bowe.

  25. 25. Adam Says:

    Sippio Cup and Tickle Me Delmo need to go in the header!
